Scattering of Sound by Internal Wave Currents: The Relation to Vertical Momentum Flux
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Internal waves scatter sound by two related perturbations: 1) those associated with vertical particle displacements ?(x, y, z, t) in the presence of a vertical gradient of (potential) sound speed (δc = ??zcp); and 2) those ...
A Case Study in Three-Dimensional Inverse Methods: Combining Hydrographic, Acoustic, and Moored Thermistor Data in the Greenland Sea
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A variety of measurements, including acoustic travel times, moored thermistor time series, and hydrographic stations, were made in the Greenland Sea during 1988?89 to study the evolution of the temperature field throughout ...
Wind Sea behind a Cold Front and Deep Ocean Acoustics
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: rapid and broadband (1 h, 1 < f < 400 Hz) increase in pressure and vertical velocity on the deep ocean floor was observed on seven instruments comprising a 20-km array in the northeastern subtropical Pacific. The authors ...
Three-Dimensional Observations of a Deep Convective Chimney in the Greenland Sea during Winter 1988/89
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: All available temperature data, including moored thermistor, hydrographic, and tomographic measurements, have been combined using least-squares inverse methods to study the evolution of the three-dimensional temperature ...
Tomographic Maps of the Ocean Mesoscale. Part 1: Pure Acoustics
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A field test of ocean acoustic tomography was conducted in 1981 for a two month period in a 300 km square at 26°N, 70°W in the North Atlantic (just south of the MODE region). Nine acoustic deep-sea moorings with sea floor ...
